I have no idea what you mean by "the two things that make up matter". Perhaps if you could tell us what you believe these two things are, we could define them for you.

There are a lot more than two elementary particles. The Standard Model has at least 18: quarks (six types), leptons (six types), and six bosons (photons, gluons, 2 W bosons, the Z boson, and the Higgs boson). You can quibble about whether or not some of the bosons are "matter" if you like, but even discounting all of them that's still significantly more than two, and that's not even counting hypothetical but as-yet-unobserved particles like gravitons.

Why is ''anything you can and pick up not a good definition of matter?

It is not a good definition of matter because matter is anything that takes up space like for example chair, desk and a pencil takes up space but it does not matter if you can touch or pick up matter.


What is the definition of "atomies" and how do they contribute to the structure of matter?

Atomies are extremely small particles that make up matter. They contribute to the structure of matter by combining with other atomies to form molecules, which then come together to create different substances. The arrangement and interactions of atomies determine the properties and behavior of the matter they make up.

Is the matter which makes up the universe the same with matter that makes up living things?

matter is just a broad definition for different substances that make up life. This may sound confusing, so here's a better way to put it. Matter can exist in four states: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Water can be a liquid, gas, or solid so it is made up of matter, or lots of atoms of the same type. Also, oxygen is a gas so it is made up of matter, or atoms of oxygen. Does that mean they are the same things? No! Each element in the periodic table is made up of a different matter, thus living things and the universe are made out of many different mixed matters. However, there is no difference in science. Anything made up of many atoms of the same type is made out of matter.


What two things make up matter?

Matter is composed of atoms, which are the smallest units of matter. Atoms consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a cloud of electrons.
